INTRODUCTION. 



THE lio-ht of knowledge has in its course been like that of the Sun, proceeding from East to West. 
It is therefore to the Oriental regions, the cradle of mankind, that we must turn our attention when 
we would trace the origin and progress of language, that wonderful instrument by means of which the 
communication and improvement of knowledge are carried on. In these regions are still to be found 
the living cognate dialects of that venerable language the Hebrew, which is undoubtedly the most 
ancient written one in the world, and may almost be looked upon, indeed, as the mother tongue of the 
human race. 

The Chaldee, Samaritan, Ethiopic, Syriac, Arabic, and, in some respects, also the Persic,* are 
relatives or descendants of this original tongue, and therefore all more or less intimately connected 
with it, and with each other, in their grammar, vocabulary, and idiom. The proper method therefore 
of studying them must be to begin with the Hebrew, which is the simplest, and that which, for many 
reasons, seems entitled to be reckoned the origin of the whole ;f and thus, by tracing the stream down- 



* To this effect I may quote the following passage from the illustrious " noXvy^j/nrcrecru;" Castell, which 
is to be found in his dedication, to Charles the Second, of his great work the Lexicon Heptaglotton. — " De 
" Ave quadam, cujus nomen apud Syros historicos .jsansuja) apud Grsecos et Latinos Epimachus, ferunt, 
'•' harum in parentes senio confectos tantum esse amorem, ut eos benigne foveant, nutriantque, necnon ccecu- 
" tientibus ipsorum oculis, ac tantum non ccecis, quibusdam applicationibus, visum denuo restituant clarum ; 
" Idem officium praestant filiae istas sex primogenitae, Chaldeea, Syra, Samaritana, iEthiopica, Arabica, Per- 
" sica, in gratiam matris Hebrjeje ; cujus caligini in quamplurimis vocibus auxilio sunt, atque illustrationi, 
" saepfe supra quod dici potest, singulari. Sub unaquaquejere radice, hiyusce rei Veritas constabit luculenter." 

t " Tritum est (says Ravis) illud Hebrasorum, JTtfRtfrn bl DK OT1|TT fftb Lingua Sancta mater 
" omnium linguarum." And it is for this reason, as well as because a knowledge of Hebrew opens the way 
to all the Oriental languages in particular, that it has in common obtained the title of " Janua linguarum 
" Orientalium." 



X INTRODUCTION. 

wards, we may be able to follow with accuracy its various windings, and observe the deviations which 
it has taken, and the alterations it has undergone, in its widely extended course for a long succession 
of ages. 

Nor shall we look upon this as an investigation unproductive of pleasure or utility, if we con- 
sider what ample stores of knowledge are contained in the Literature of the East.* It presents to our 
contemplation the most ancient and the simplest, as well as the most interesting and sublime produc- 
tions that are to be found in any language in the world. It is here that we have the Sacred Scrip- 
tures in their native purity and grandeur, and it is, consequently, only by studying these tongues that 
we can approach nearest to the proper interpretation of the Divine originals. And when we reflect that 
these dialects, forming the classical language of the whole Mahommetan dominions, occupy at present 
more than a fourth part of Asia, as well as a great part of Africa ;f recollecting, at the same time, not 
only that the alphabets of the Greeks and Romans, but also that no fewer than six thousand Greek 
words, and nearly ten thousand in Latin, are derived by various authors from these tongues, we shall 
not reckon the time spent on this branch of study as either unprofitably or unpleasantly employed. 

This interesting field of philological research is attempted to be opened in the following Work, 
in which, upon the plan of the Index to Sir William Jones' Persian Grammar, the Arabic extracts in 
Mr Richardson's Grammar are plainly analyzed. And as full English explanations are given in it of 
every Arabic word that occurs, tracing it at the same time, if derivative, to the Hebrew, Chaldee, or 
Syriac, in which its root is to be found, the trouble of having recourse to large dictionaries is render- 
ed unnecessary, till the student has made some progress in the elements of the language. By means 
also of an Alphabetical Hebrew List, to be found in the Appendix, into which almost every root that 
occurs in the Old Testament Scriptures has been introduced, the Work may serve as a Yocabularv of 
the Hebrew, Chaluee, and Syriac tongues. 



* — " The Arabic has been preserved in the Koran, the Persian in Ferdosi, the Sanscrit in Valmeeki, 
" the Chaldee in Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah, the Greek in Homer, and the Hebrew in the Pentateuch. 
" Beyond these limits we have no documents from which we can derive a knowledge of the language which 
" prevailed in Arabia, Persia, Indostan, Chaldeea, Greece, or Palestine." — Townsend's Character of Moses 
established, Vol. II, p. 311. 

t — " There is scarce a country in Asia or Africa, from the source of the Nile to the wall of China, in 
" Which a man who understands Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, may not travel with satisfaction, or transact 
" the most important affairs with advantage and security." — Vide Sir W. Jones' Persia?i Grammar, Preface, 
p. xix. 



INTRODUCTION. SI 

The relation which the Chaldee, Samaritan, Ethiopic, Syriac, Arabic, and Persic, bear to the 
Hebrew, and to one another, will be easily perceived by attending to the followiDg remarks upon each 
of the Alphabets in its order as contained in the engraved Table forming the frontispiece of this Work. 

1. On the right, are the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew, or rather, Chaldee Alphabet. These 
are said to have been brought by Ezra from Babylon, and by him introduced into Judea in place of 
the old Phoenician or Samaritan formerly in use amongst the Hebrews. The forms of five of these 
letters are different when placed at the end of a word, and are therefore denominated final forms. 

In Hebrew, and in almost all its dialects, the letters of the alphabet are used to denote numbers. 
To the twenty-two common characters the Hebrews add the five finals, making in all twenty-seven, 
which are divided into three classes of nine each; the first nine represent units, the second tens, and 
the third hundreds,— the whole reaching as high therefore as 999 ; whilst by placing a doubly accented 
N before any of the letters, or by merely marking it above with a dot, or an acute accent, it is made to 
represent thousands : and their highest number denoted by letters amounts therefore to Bsyasf 999999, 
or within one of a million. 

This Hebrew system of notation, which has been in some'measure improved upon by the Arabians 
and Persians, is remarkable for its simplicity and neatness. It is superior in these respects to the sys- 
tem of the Greeks, who were obliged, indeed, to borrow three of their characters * « aweufaw &&, g 
xcTrrtt, and % mmce] from the Hebrews ; and it is undoubtedly much superior to that of the Romans, 
who were nearlv as remarkable for clumsiness in many things, as the Greeks were for neatness. 

2. It will be observed that the old Phoenician, or Samaritan, is the same with the Hebrew 
alphabet in regard to the number, order, and names of the letters, but differs considerably from it in 
form. This character is generally reckoned much older than the Hebrew, which is so far evident, in- 
deed, from its comparative rudeness. It was invented " by a forgotten Sidonian " before the time of 
Moses,T and was used by him in' writing the Jewish law. "We may justly look upon it as the most 
ancient alphabet in the world, and as that which gave birth to all others. 



* Vide Institution. Chronolog. et Arithmet. per Gul. Beveregium, Episcopum Asaphensem, p. 214, 215. 

- '• The alphabet used by the writer of the Jewish law was the Phoenician, which, in his age, was no 
" recent discovery. A forgotten Sidonian, to the immortal honour of his nation, and the advantage of man- 
" kind, first designated the more simple articulations of his native language, by pictures of certain objects 
" whose names began with those articulations. This invention was imparted to the Greeks, in the age of 
" Moses, by Cadmus. From Babylon it reached Persia and India. It is the parent of every alphabet now 
" existing." — Vide Outlines of Oriental Philology, by the late Dr A. Murray.- Professor of Oriental Languages 
in the University of Edinburgh, p. 2. 



XU INTRODUCTION. 

As this origin of written language took place amongst a nation of navigators, with whose pursuits 
the science of astronomy was intimately combined, the letters of the alphabet seem, in general, to be 
merely astronomical hieroglyphics ; and it is for this reason that the mode of writing in Hebrew and 
in all its dialects, except the Abyssinian, is from right to left, like the march of the stars. 

The Samaritan, as will be perceived in the annexed line, has no final forms of the letters as the 
Hebrew has ; they are written alike at the end as at the beginning or in the middle of the word, which 
is the case with the next one likewise, the Ethiopic : 

Gen. ii, 1, in Samaritan letters. 

3. In the Ethiopic, or Abyssinian, the order of the alphabet is much changed. All/, or A, which 
stands first in other alphabets, occupies the middle here, being in Ethiopic the thirteenth letter. There 
is also some difference in the pronunciation of the names, and the number of the letters is now increas- 
ed from twenty-two to twenty-six * by the addition of another form to each of the characters tt>, 2J, D, n. 
The new form of 3 is added here to denote the sound of P, which is not an original sound in the 
Oriental tongue: it is found in Persic however; and the Persians, as well as the Turks, have therefore 
some words which the Arabians are unable to pronounce, as they never use P, but always Ph, or B. 
The letter ft pail is used only by the Ethiopians in such proper names of the Greek Testament, &c. as 
are spelt with P. In numbering, they use a very old and rude form of the Greek letters. 

The Ethiopic, as has been already observed, and as will be perceived in the annexed line, is writ- 
ten, like the languages of Europe, from left to right : 

Psalm i,l, in Ethiopic. 

-ne-o : -n^ih, : wi\<hi • -a^m >, favi : ©htvp <* >. ©-A+ : 

4. The Syrians have retained the original number and order of the letters, and the same names 
with little variation ; but they have very much altered the appearance of the characters, and have in- 
troduced different forms for connecting them with one another in writing, a peculiarity requisite for 
facility and quickness in forming the characters of any language. And although, at present, in writ- 
ten Hebrew, as well as in Samaritan and Ethiopic, the letters are kept carefully distinct so that they 
may not touch one another, yet we may justly suppose that the ancient Hebrews would find it neces- 
sary to join them, as is usual with the Syrians, Arabians, and Persians, since the connecting of the let- 
ters is always essential for dispatch in writing. 



* Or, if we reckon the whole of the different forms, diphthongs, &c. the number of characters in the 
Ethiopic alphabet amounts to 202. 



INTRODUCTION. X iH 

The Syriac alphabet and language is that which was formerly used in Syria and Palestine by the 
Christians, and which is indeed used by some of them in the East at this day.* The chief difference 
between Syriac and Chaldee is in the characters, the language being almost one and the same, called 
Chaldee when spoken by the Hebrews, and Syriac when spoken by the Christians. 

The old Syriac letters, called the Estrangelo, are larger and ruder in their appearance, approach- 
in<r nearer to the form of the Samaritan than the present ones. 

5. In Arabic the number of the letters is increased to twenty-eight, and the names and forms are 
now much varied from the original ; but by a comparison of the more ancient characters called the 
Cufic, used formerly by the Arabians, with the old Syriac, the resemblance to the Hebrew and Sama- 
ritan can easily be traced in them all. 

During the tenth century the Arabians exchanged the old Cufic character, f which was in use in 
the time of Mahomet, and in which the Koran was written, for the present more elegant one. Of this 
there is to be found an almost infinite vai'iety of forms in writing ; but those that are principally in use 
in Arabic and Persic are the three following. 1st, The Niskhi, ^uvJ i. e. Copy, which is the one 
here used,, and is the plainest and the best adapted for printing of all the forms. l 2dly, The Taleek, 
(JiAxj i. e. Oblique or Hanging, which bears nearly the same analogy to the Niskhi that our Italic 
does to the Roman. 3dly, The Shekesteh, ^JuJCi i. e. Broken, is a careless and inelegant corrup- 
tion of the Taleek, in which almost all order and analogy are neglected, and which presents great and 
nearly insurmountable difficulties to the learner, who must yet overcome them before he can translate 
a Persian letter, as it is in this hand that epistolary correspondence is commonly carried on, particu- 
larly in Hindostan. 

6. The Persians have increased the number of the letters to thirty-two. In Turkish and 
Tartar they amount to thirty-three. All these languages, however, retain the same arrangement, 
nearly the same names, and, as has been already remarked, the same forms of the characters as the 
Arabians. 

In the two last alphabets, the Arabic and Persic, it will be observed that the order of the letters 
is very much deranged, and considerably altered from the original disposition in the Hebrew. Still 



* Vide Buchanan's Christian Researches in Asia, p. 107. 

f " Shortly before the time of Muhammed, the character called the Cufic, was invented by Moramer 
" Ebn Mora, of Anbar, in Arabian Irak. There seems to be a great resemblance between the Cufic and 
" Syriac characters. Towards the close of the third century of the Hegira, the Niskhi character was formed 
" from the Cufic." — Vide Mills' History of Muhammedanism, p. 282, 283.

the analogy can easily be traced, and the proper order of the alphabet restored by observing the nume- 
ral power of each of the letters, which, being, with only one or two exceptions, exactly the same as in 
Hebrew, shews the place every letter ought to occupy in each of the alphabets. 

The genealogical relation of these Alphabets to one another, and to the Greek and Latin, may, 
therefore, at one view, be exhibited thus :

It is the oriental practice of using the letters of the alphabet to denote numbers that we are to 
consider as the true origin of our numerical characters : for on comparing the forms of our common 
digits with the first nine letters of the Syriac, and to the corresponding ones in Arabic, a very close 
resemblance in almost every one of them may easily be observed. The Arabians, however, from whom 



INTRODUCTION. XV 

we received them, own themselves indebted to the Indians for the common ciphers which they use in 
numbering.* 

The whole of these alphabets, pronounced according to the oriental practice, consist entirely of 
consonants. " The omission of the vowels," says Dr Murray,f " could not have been permitted in 
" any other language. But the dialects related to the Hebrew possessed a structure very favourable 
" to this abbreviation. In the beginning of the fourth century, the Syrians broke the immemorial 
" practice of eastern orthography, and introduced the Greek vowels A, E, H, (i), o, Y, or a, written in 
" a small hand, and placed laterally above or below the letters. These vowels were soon corrupted 
" into mere points. The Jews of Tiberias seized this convenient scheme with all their national enthu- 
" siasm. It was adopted by the Arabs soon after the publication of the Koran, and is now universally 
" established in all the schools belonging to that great and ancient people." 

The following Table contains these vowel points, with some other diacritical marks made use of 
in the Hebrew, Chaldee, Syriac, Arabic, and Persic languages ; and a slight examination of it will be 
sufficient to show that Dr Murray's statement as to the origin of the vowel points is perfectly 
correct.

INTRODUCTION. 



XV11 



We shall now conclude this Introduction with the following Table of the Affixes, or as they are 
sometimes called the Suffixes; which are subjoined to nouns, verbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and 
adverbs, in these languages ; and which must be taken away from the word before it can be found in a 
dictionary, or in the following vocabulary. When they are subjoined to nouns to denote possession 
they are called possessive affixes; and when subjoined to verbs, &c. to denote the accusative of a person, 
they are called verbal affixes.

of the most interesting, as it is by far the most majestic, of all the Western languages. In pronunciation, it 
possesses as much firmness and energy as the English and German on the one hand, and nearly as much me- 
lody and precision as the Italian and French on the other. Its affinity to the Arabic is to be found not only 
in some particular words that are radically the same in both languages, several of which are marked in this 
Vocabulary,! and, had the limits of the work permitted, a great many more might have been added ; but 
also in some parts of its construction, in which it bears a striking analogy to the oriental tongues. And it may be 
observed, that the n, or n contilde as it is called, which is quite peculiar to the Spanish language, as in the word 
manana for example, is evidently derived from the Medda (~), or Wesla (.«) of the Arabians, being similar in 
shape to the former, and also somewhat equivalent in use to the latter of these the Alif of union in particular. 

In speaking of the relation that subsists between the languages of the East and those of the West, it may 
farther be remarked, that as the Spanish bears a close analogy in many respects to the Arabic, so does 
the Latin and English also to the Persic A great many small words, and a vast quantity of irregular 
verbs, are prominent characteristics of both the English and the Persic ; whilst in the formation of the verb 
itself, particularly by am, -ed, and -est, a similarity may likewise be observed.

" that African Arabique which the Maures use ; and I have read the censure of a most judicious linguist, that

" lation of this distinguished hero. His true name was Sigge. But either at his departure from the East, or 
" after his extensive conquests, and the establishment of his throne in peace, he assumed the sacred name 
" of that God, before whose altars, as high priest, he had been accustomed to offer sacrifice, and to whose 
" protection, as Lord of Hosts, he had attributed his victories; for in the country from which he came, it is 
" probable, that the Deity was known, as in Palestine, under the appellation of Adon, the Lord of the whole 
" earth." — " Under the notion of his divinity, one day in the week was consecrated to him, and called by 
" his name. Such is the origin of our Wednesday, Wonsday of Iceland, Odinsday of Sweden, and Wodens- 
" day of the Anglo-Saxons." — Vide Townsend's Character of Moses established, Vol. II, p. 240, 24-1, 244.

* — " Raigh, riog, and rig, a king, seem to have been derived from iTJH, ' he nourished,' and "IIP, ' a 
" shepherd,' and metaphorically ' a king.' It is said of David, in the 78th Psalm, ' So he fed them (QW) 
" with a faithful and true heart, and ruled them prudently with all his power.' The Almighty, speaking of 
" Cyrus, says, ' He is my shepherd,' Cifi")). This image is familiar to the sacred writers, and to the most 
" venerable of the Grecian poets ; and the word, by which their supreme ruler is designated in France, 
" Spain, Portugal, and Indostan, must be referred to it." — Townsend's Character of Moses established, Vol. II,

* From this word is derived the name of chess, a game of oriental origin, which was delivered to the

" Tracing this word through various countries and languages, we find shah, a king, and schach, shale, echecs, 
" scacchi, and shah, mat, (oLo 4su.<£), check mate, that is, ' the king is dead.' Shetrenjor, shatranj, chatrang, 
" and Icaturanga, mean the four angas, or divisions of an army, infantry, cavalry, chariots, and elephants, 
" and explain the name first given to the game of chess by its original inventors. ( Vide Asiatic Researches). 1 '

It is worthy of remark, that the word exchequer,! (in French echiquier, signifying also a chess-

* Hence, amongst many oriental names of places made use of by the ancient Etrurians or Tuscans, 
who came originally from the East, we have the name of Veii, one of their most famous cities.—" Veii was 
" a very potent and renowned city of Etruria, whose district or lucumony might have been considered as the 
" Etruscan frontier on the side of Latium. From this circumstance it probably received its name; since 
" HN3, Feeh, or Fee, as the Etruscans, in all likelihood, wrote it, signified a boundary, limit, or frontier."

* — " Hebraeam quidem formam habet, sed Arab urn. vox propria est et veterum Cananseorum." Waserus 
de Num. Heb. — This word occurs only in three passages of Scripture, viz. Gen. xxxiii, 19 ; Josh, xxiv, 32 ; and

from Hamor for an hundred ilDWp ; and in the latter it is used with regard to Job, where it is said that 
each of his relations and acquaintances presented him with a TKyttp. Does not the circumstance of this

" distinctions," Townsend observes, " the male expression becomes female, and the female is taken for the 
" male, as in the word hen derived from hane, which in Gothic signifies the male bird, as hbna does the female."
